Hello all, it is my pleasure to be able to release the announcement and server changelog for "Synergy 2.0".
With this update you'll see four big pillars of this update. This update aims to improve quality of life and drastically take us out of the dark ages. We've made great strides with this update to improve our backend infrastructure and increase our gameplay experience. Please see below for our pillars and what's to come.
Pillar 1: Helix
- Our move to Helix is the most significant shift in this update. It's a complete overhaul of our backend in-game wise. We've worked with a skeleton version of Helix that only had the bare bones and tore everything apart and rebuilt the server from the ground up.
Pillar 2: New Box (Intel Core i9-10900K)
- Our new box has improved our server's speed and taken us to the next level. It's no lie that before, we were experiencing major performance issues. With this new box shift, things should drastically start to feel better.
Pillar 3: Clans & Renown
- The Civilian faction is getting its own in-game systems to start building the faction and bring them outside of excel & provide a more immersive experience for our players.
Pillar 4: F4 Menu & Rosters
- With our move to MCS in the previous update, we lost the F4 menu. We on the development team understand the struggle of not being able to check out your favorite battalions & models. We made a completely custom F4 menu that allows you to check out a real-time roster of each battalion with features such as the last time a user was promoted, the last time a user was online, and an in-game look at the battalion(s) models, and so much more.
